Announces implementation of project to reduce fuels and resultant wildfire risk on 200 acres adjacent to the ranch. Designated a wildlife-urban area, the project includes cutting juniper trees less than 12" (dbh) with chainsaws, scattering and burning junipers in light areas, hauling off and selling juniper trees in denser areas, and mowing brush to a depth of a foot or less within 100 feet of the property line.

Announces decision to implement Alternative 3 of project EA, denying the VHF component, while approving other provisions, of Western Radio Services March 17, 2006 application to relocate facilities and install others. Included relocating the two 158.7 mhz VHF antennas currently mounted on an existing 60-foot lattice tower to two sidehill locations further downhill, mounted on two new 15-foot monopole towers. Also includes replacing three microwave antennas mounted on a 20-foot lattice tower with three 6-feet solid microwave antennas mounted on two new 20-foot monopole towers located at sidehill locations, and adding a fourth dish to serve Warm Springs.

Proposes installation of a new fiber optic line, primarily on existing poles, within the existing right-of-way for the Central Electric Cooperative, Inc. (CEC) power transmission line. Designed to complement the earlier phase in providing broadband access to rural areas while causing the least ground disturbances, the project includes manually hanging fiber cable on 18 miles of existing CEC overhead poles with brackets, replacing two decaying wooden poles, and supplying weed-free grass and herb seed with which to cover replacement pole locations.
